This is the first look at how we operate at Art of Defense. We've selected these clips to show you the energy, technique, and community that defines our grind. This is a preview of the hard work and real progress you can expect on our mats.

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu: The Ground Game

We focus on position before submission. Our No-Gi sessions are about smart, technical grappling in a fast-paced environment, drilling everything from fundamental escapes and guard passes to advanced leg lock systems.

Wrestling: Takedowns & Control

Our wrestling classes are all about building solid ground control from the feet up. We drill takedowns, defenses, and sprawls until they become second nature, giving you the confidence to dictate where the fight goes.

Combat Conditioning

Grappling demands a unique blend of strength, endurance, and explosive power. Our conditioning workouts are designed for fighters, using tools like kettlebells and barbells to build a powerful, resilient body.

Mobility & Foundational Drills

Fluidity and control start with the basics. We focus on foundational movements, mobility drills, and flexibility work to prevent injuries and improve your overall movement on the mat, from warm-ups to cool-downs.

Team AOD: Our Warriors & Wins

We are more than a gym, we are an MMA family that grinds together and celebrates together. Here is our team, putting in the work, competing, and bringing home the results. This is what our community is all about.

The Academy: Our Training Ground

This is where the work gets done. Take a look inside Art of Defense, from our matted training areas and strength equipment to the art on our walls that inspires the daily grind.

More Than Grappling

While our core focus is grappling, we are a complete MMA academy. This includes striking classes, general fitness sessions, and a structured schedule to keep you on track with your goals.
